One of my passions.
Give me a manual tranny and an open curvy road and I'm happy.
Have been Honda guy my whole life --- 87 and 00 Preludes, 92 Accord, 03 TL, 01 Maxima.
Rented a 355 in Hawaii -- it was incredible. Also rented a Viper, it was raucous. Just silly.
Pet Peeves:
1. People who don't signal.
2. Even worse, people who signal AS they are changing lanes. No need to signal if you are already halfway into your turn. The idea is to tell people what you intend on doing, not what you are currently doing.
3. People who litter - from their cars (well, out of their cars too) -- something about throwing your trash/butt out the window of your car, which fires me up. Totally disrespectful, lazy, disgusting, and gross. Not to mention, incurring the cost to clean up your mess and possible road hazard. Take your cig butt and throw it in the backseat, you loser.
4. People who drive, not PASS in the left lane. Go as slow as you want, but do it in the proper lane. Left lane is for passing, not for driving with the pace of traffic.
5. People who can't merge. People who can't merge and STOP on the on-ramp. Now I know that on some roads, they don't give you a lot of room, and sometimes due to traffic, you have no choice but to stop and wait. Understood. But I have been behind people who STOP at the beginning of the on-ramp, and look out their side view mirror for a spot to come in. Guess what, if you accelerate up to speed immediately, your job just became a lot easier.
I'm sure there are more, but these are a good start.
PS. I'm NOT the guy who has a lowered Honda, whose exhaust you hear from blocks away. My rides are stock, and clean, and have 80's music playing.
